Portland Annulment Lawyers

Helping You Explore Your End of Marriage Options

When a couple gets divorced, their marriage is recognized as having existed, but it has now ended. An annulment, on the other hand, treats a marriage as if it never existed in the first place. There are certain narrow requirements that must be met in order to be eligible for this option and only a few people will qualify. At the law firm of DeBast, McFarland & Richardson, LLP, our Portland annulment attorneys will review your situation closely to determine whether an annulment is possible.

To learn more about your options for ending a marriage, contact our Oregon family law lawyers online or call 503-297-9600 to schedule a meeting to discuss your situation.

When Can a Marriage Be Annulled?

Our Portland divorce attorneys can explain in-depth which types of marriages are eligible for an annulment. In general, a marriage may be annulled if:

• Either spouse was under the age of 17 at the time of the marriage
• You married under the age of 18 without parental consent
• Fraud, threats or deception were used to induce the marriage
• Either spouse was legally married to another person at the time of the marriage
• Marrying a relative

Whether you qualify for annulment depends on the unique circumstances of your individual situation. If you do not qualify, the lawyers at DeBast, McFarland & Richardson, LLP, can explore the other options that are available, such as divorce or legal separation. In every case, you can rely on us to handle your matter with sensitivity and compassion as we work toward a solution that is in your best interest.
